about us

Hello! We are twin sisters Anya and Varya Kendel.
Since childhood we have been painting our pictures together. And now it has become our profession.
We were born and grew up in the Urals, studied at the Chelyabinsk Art School, and then at the Faculty of Book and Easel Graphics at the Stieglitz Academy in St. Petersburg. Since 2018, we have been working with various publishers and companies around the world.
The technique in which we now work is best described as a «mix.» We use different materials, combining them in one work: watercolor, acrylic, gouache, ink, pencils, charcoal and collage.
In our free time, we try to travel. We enjoy the spirit of adventure, hitchhiking, the joys and challenges of hiking. All of this helps to inspire us to do new and interesting projects.
